EXT 800 Titan Pellet offers smaller format and lower cost for manufacturers in aerospace, defense and medical industries.
3D Systems has announced the latest addition to its industry-leading portfolio of EXT Titan Pellet systems — the EXT 800 Titan Pellet. With a build volume of 800 x 600 x 800 mm, this new pellet extrusion system is designed to emulate the speed, reliability and efficiency of the large-format EXT Titan Pellet systems (EXT 1070 Titan Pellet and EXT 1270 Titan Pellet) in a more compact format with lower upfront investment.

According to the company, manufacturers can take advantage of the lights-out, production-ready EXT 800 Titan Pellet to fabricate more modestly sized functional prototypes, tooling, fixtures, sand casting patterns, thermoforming molds, and end-use parts.
3D Systems claims that the EXT 800 Titan Pellet has print speeds up to 10x faster and 10x lower material costs than traditional filament-based systems. With it, the company is aiming to address a breadth of markets including foundries, aerospace & defense, thermoforming, prosthetics & footwear, and research.
“With the addition of the EXT 800 Titan Pellet to our industry-leading family of pellet extrusion systems, we are able to bring this technology to a broader set of manufacturers to enhance their products and innovation,” said Rahul Kasat, vice president, Titan, 3D Systems in a press release. “The introduction of the EXT 800 Titan Pellet is designed for manufacturers that are looking for these benefits, but do not need the very large build capacity of our existing systems.”
According to the company, customers who integrate this pellet extrusion system into their manufacturing environment will also be able to take advantage of the same performance features of 3D Systems’ larger pellet extrusion printers — EXT 1070 Titan Pellet and EXT 1270 Titan Pellet. Additionally, active bed and chamber heating allows the use of glass and carbon-filled high-temperature engineering materials such as ABS, PC, Nylons, PEI, and PEKK as well as highly flexible TPE and TPU that cannot be printed on filament-based machines.
The EXT 800 Titan Pellet is available for immediate ordering with delivery of the first printers anticipated for the third quarter of 2024.
3D Systems will showcase the EXT 800 Titan Pellet alongside the Company’s full solution portfolio in Booth #2401 at next week’s RAPID+TCT event in Los Angeles, California.
